The headline of linked article is also little creative in interjecting juice into what later is revealed actually different context. Jealousy in paddock exists because we are non-traditional successful team (and others are not).

I am not sure if regulatory inquiries are necessarily based on jealousy only. It is a competitive sport, and it would be unacceptable if teams have not done their due diligence and hold everyone to rules of the game. It’s quite rational behavior, well thought out, because if you p***s FiA off with baseless whining over frivolous claims, you might have your name in headlines with penalty attached.
